Weight loss hacks

Your body converts it to glucose causing a spike in blood sugar. To avoid this cook the potato then put it in the fridge until it gets cold and reheat it. The cooling and reheating process makes it into a resistant carbohydrate and it doesn't cause a spike.
What about sweet potato? I thought sweet potato if boiled or put in the oven, is okay for weight loss/ carb deficit
Thoughts
Same as any potato. Cool it first and reheat to turn it into a resistant carbohydrate. Same with rice. It's an east hack with great benefits.
Copilot agrees
When potatoes are cooked and then cooled, a process called starch retrogradation occurs. This transforms some of the digestible starches into resistant starch, which behaves more like fiber in your body which also makes you fill full longer. Eat them cold or reheat
| Food | Resistant Starch Trick | Idea for Eating |
|---|---|---|
| White Rice | Cook, cool overnight | Sushi rolls or cold rice salad |
| Pasta | Cook al dente, chill in fridge | Pasta salad with veggies and pesto |
| Oats | Soak raw oats in milk/yogurt | Overnight oats with fruit & seeds |
| Green Bananas | Naturally high in resistant starch | Eat raw or blend into smoothies |

For pasta lovers
Put pasta in fridge after cooking as that reduces carbs.
It will last for days. Cool it quickly after coating with olive oil to prevent sticking.
I mix it with Konjac
Konjac as pasta alertnative has zero calories
Instead of pasta sauce use pesto or just olive oil with basil or thyme

Calories come from fiber.Says 25 calories right on the package
Fiber is technically a carbohydrate, but your body doesn’t digest it like sugars or starches meaning Konjac is calorie free.
On the nutritional label subtract fibre from total carbs

whats the underling flour or vegetable used for Konjac pasta? i know about Shirataki noodles which is made out of yam, not flour.

Just don’t eat things with refined sweeteners or zero-calorie sweeteners. (I don’t care what marketers or “scientists” say, zero calorie sweeteners fuck up your metabolism. Just read up on history of sucralose.)
Over the course of 6 months the gradual change will be astounding.

They are amazing substitute for ice cream lovers without guilt
You can make ice cream anything with a real smoothie maker
Broccoli ice cream ? Just add ice to broccoli with a little milk to get it started.
You can make soup because the blades cause friction and heat things to a boil after a few minutes
The problem is making things tasty but there are recipes on line
The obvious thing to do is turn your favorite smoothie into ice cream

I have a friend who competes in bodybuilding when she was on prep week I was over at her place and tried these as she swears by them - something about them I couldn’t stomach well even when it was drenched in sauce the texture and taste just didn’t appeal to me
They are not as good as real pasta because of texture so I mix Konjac with refridgerated pasta cooked al dente (post 25). Easy peasy lemon squeasy as pasta will last a week and you have dinner in 5 minutesI have a friend who competes in bodybuilding when she was on prep week I was over at her place and tried these as she swears by them - something about them I couldn’t stomach well even when it was drenched in sauce the texture and taste just didn’t appeal to me
So this tomato time of year I love to make clubhouse and BLT sandwiched. I'm otherwise not one to like white bread, it makes the best Club/BLT when toasted.
But I don't like that much bread, especially 3 slice on a Club.
Lo and behold this evening at Shoppers, I saw THIN SLICE Wonder Bread.
Can't wait to try tomorrow!
A good baked Russet potato, eaten with it's skin on, butter and sour cream is actually very nutritious. The fat in the butter and sour cream buffer the glycemic shock insulin response. The skin has many minerals and vitamins. And the fiber of the skin also slows the breakdown of the carbs. The calcium in the sour cream is well absorbed.
